More Helplessness

Really, WHAT do you do when all your baby does is cry and fuss and cry...and nothing you do helps him?? I am feeling a little more convinced its this damn tooth....but dunno. Today Khai felt a bit warm. I gave him some Tylenol, I even put a little Orajel on his gums..that stuff is nasty. I gave him an apple to chomp on. That kept him busy for a good while, but then he was back to crying. He threw the biggest fit at Target today. Everyone stared. Whatever. Thankfully John showed up and was able to help me manuever the cart around. Khai was happy momentarily when I let him run the aisle. We then went to Toys R Us, where again..he was allowed to run the aisle but then he decided he'd pull every lollipop off the display and shove one in his mouth. Sigh* We made it home in one piece thankfully. The rest of the night, he went on his bi-polar, multi personality...whatever you want to call it freakout. Then passed out for the night. I hope.
Just don't know how to help him. Every day has been getting worse and worse. Sometimes I worry that its more than just his tooth. Like maybe this is his personality. Maybe he's going to grow up to be some bratty kid. And I hate thinking that way!!! But when you spend countless minutes laying in the dark trying to get your child to sleep...all you have is time to think.
